I think a simple solution exists. Anything added/moderated in a journal does NOT affect your UID.

For example, if I get moderated "troll" on a comment in my article, it doesn't affect my karma at all, just my score on the article in the journal.
Also, if I post at -1, I can make countless posts within journals (not the now 'normal' 3 posts per day).

The only problem editors would have with this, is that journals would start getting more comments that front page slashdot stories...

I could see if you didn't want everyone posting at -1 to your journal. Maybe you wanted to keep the comments on topic because you wanted some feedback. So I say give control to the journal author. Allow me to set the -1 limit for users, if I want to allow ACs to post, or if I want some of the other filters to apply. And yes, moderation in journals shouldn't apply to Karma. I know people that moderate journal entries just to screw other people over.

1: Whats this new limiting posts per day thing?2: Why not make journals isolated islands of moderation? Meaning, people can see who's journals have the most content, and then you get more hits to your own personal little/...3: I just noticed that about K5. Maybe Taco & Rusty need to get together and have a little kuro5dot, that doesnt suck and has none of the cynical assholes or trolls..
